AN: Sorry we took so long…I know I say that every time, but my sis…yeah. First my sister went to Germany, and when she got back she was exhausted. Then we had a bunch of semester tests, then my sister was lazy. Then we worked on it and my sister got lazy again…then we finally finished it.
"Squish squish….squish squish…"
"Sir? What are you doing?" Leslie asked in a monotone voice, "You should be heading to the villain's convention."
"I know, but the bunnies are just sooo squishy!" He rubbed the bunny on his face then squished it some more.
"Come on, sir. We need to get this fan fiction going."
"Leslie! Stop breaking the fourth wall this instant!" He glared at her.
"Yes, sir." She stood there and watched Mr. Big squish the bunny some more, "Sir?"
"Yeah, yeah, I know." He grumbled and set the pink bunny on the desk and hopped off the desk. He straightened his tie then cleared his throat, "Well, let's go!" He did a ridiculous, unnecessary pose: pointing up to the sky. Leslie just stared at him. He slowly lowered his arm. "…Sorry."
"Did you send the letter to Tobey?" Granny May asked Two-Brains.
"You mean the one that informs him that his villainship has been revoked? Yeah, I did."
"It's a shame he turned good. He was a great villain." Chuck commented. All the villains were sitting in the meeting room. The Learnerer nodded,
"Yeah, he was doinging a good job."
"OK, now first on the agenda: Tofu and you." Granny May read from the paper in front of her. Ms. Question raised her hand.
"What does this have to do with the Villian's Association?"
"Well, the Butcher wanted-"
Tobey suddenly kicked the door open dramatically, lost his balance, and fell flat on his face. Everyone turned to look at him.
"Tobey? Didn't you get the noti-" Granny May started.
Tobey jumped to his feet, "GUYS! I NEED YOUR HELP!" He flailed his arms, ran up to Two-Brains, and grabbed Two-Brains' coat, "WORDGIRL IS IN TROUBLE AND- " The scientist pushed him off,
"Hold on, there. Don't touch the threads." He straightened his lab coat, "Tobey, didn't you get the notice in the mail? Your villain status has been revoked."
"And besides, who cares about Wordgirl, am I right?" The Amazing Rope Guy looked around for someone's approval. Everyone except for Two-Brains and Tobey nodded and made silent noises of agreement, "I mean, if she were out of the way, we could rob all the places we wanted." He smiled. Tobey glared at him.
"Well, no one likes you either, but you're still around!"
"Ooooh…." Amazing Rope Guy groaned. Tobey turned to Two-Brains again.
"You'll help me, right, Two-Brains?" He pleaded, "Miss Power has come back! She has the Visorb!" Two-Brains blinked and looked around at the others,
"Uh, no. Why would you ask me?" He chuckled nervously. Tobey seemed to be getting desperate,
"Wha…You have to! No one else will do it!"
"What makes you think I'LL help you?"
"Because we've saved Wordgirl before!" Tobey stated loudly. Everyone in the room gasped.
"No!" Two-Brains denied.
"Yes, you did!" Tobey yelled, angry, "Stop lying! Please! You're my only hope!" He panted in anger. Two-Brains calmed down and stood up. He towered over Tobey, but that didn't intimidate the boy genius. He stood as tall as he could and stared defiantly into Two-Brains' eyes. Two-Brains took a deep breath,
"Lookie here, little boy. I don't know what you're talking about. This 'saving Wordgirl' business has to stop. I've never saved Wordgirl's life, and I never will. All you're doing is causing a scene in a place no one wants you. You need to find someone else to help you, because no one wants you here. So get out. Now."
Tobey's heart broke. Tears filled his eyes, "You…" He turned away, standing silent for a moment. "My father was friends with a coward." He growled quietly before walking out. Two-Brains' expression didn't change. The room remained silent, even as he sat down again. While the room's volume gradually increased, Two-Brains couldn't help but play the last word Tobey had said over and over in his mind.
Coward…You're a coward.
"Yikes…well, let's check up on Becky, aka Wordgirl!" The narrator commented.
"Goodbye, mom! I'm heading over to Violet's!" Becky called to her mom as she ran out the door.
"OK, honey! Be back in time for dinner! We're having grilled cheese sandwiches! It's gonna be delicious YEAH!"
"Yeah OK, mom!" Becky hid behind a bush and turned into Wordgirl. She took off into the air, accidentally bumping a squirrel off of a power line. It fell in the bushes and waved an angry fist at her.
Violet sat in her room, painting a dark cloud on a rock. She accidentally spilled one of the cups of water as she moved her paintbrush back to the gray paint.
"Gah-what-grrrrr AAAH!" She complained. She stood up to get towels when her mom called from the front of the house.
"Violet, darling! Becky is here!" Violet groaned. She never thought she would loathe the visit of her best friend.
"OK, mom. I just have to *sigh* clean up this mess first."
Becky sat on the poetry chair near the front door, waiting anxiously for Violet to come in. When she finally did, Becky took a deep breath and stood up, "Violet?"
"…Yes, Becky?"
"…I'm really really really sorry that I followed you and Scoops! I was just curious and I knew it was wrong but I did it anyway, and I'm sorry that I yelled at you for breaking Angelface, and I'm sorry that I started our fight and I feel really really guilty and I'm just so so sorry and-"
"Becky, Becky!" Violet interrupted her. She thought about it for a bit, and then hugged Becky, "I forgive you."
"Oh! Thank you so much, Violet!" Becky sighed in relief and backed away, "I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't forgiven me."
"I'm very forgiving. Holding on to grudges is bad for your health." Violet stated matter-of-factly. Becky smiled.
"Let's go to my place to try and glue Angelface back together!"
"OK!" Violet followed Becky out the door.
"Where is Wordgirl?!" Miss Power demanded.
"Wordgirl?" Tim asked, "Wordgirl isn't here. Just me, my wife, two kids, and a monkey."
"Oh, please. I know she lives here."
"Lives here? Look, Miss Power, you've got the wrong address. Wordgirl doesn't live here…but that would be so cool if she did." TJ slipped off into a daydream.
"ENOUGH!" She shouted. Everyone covered their ears, "Your daughter Becky IS Wordgirl!" They all laughed at the concept.
"Becky isn't a superhero! She doesn't have super strength or anything!" Sally said. At this moment, Becky and Violet opened the door.
"Mom! I'm- Miss Power?!" Becky stopped dead in her tracks.
"Ah, and here she is." Miss Power smiled and landed.
"What's going on?" Becky asked. She was so focused on Miss Power she didn't hear Scoops approaching. He saw Miss Power through the window and ducked down behind a bush to listen in.
"This'll be a great story! The Return of Miss Power! I can see it now!" He pulled out his notepad and pencil.
"I'll tell you what's going on. My revenge!" She suddenly flew at Becky and grabbed her by the arm,
"Admit that you're Wordgirl!"
"Whu-what? I-I'm not Wordgirl!" She started to panic.
"Oh yes you are! Bad-haired baby, Tony or whatever, told me all about you." Becky didn't say anything. She just gapped stupidly.
"Now see here, Miss Power, you're going to put my daughter down right now, or I'll call Wordgirl!" Sally threatened. Miss Power suddenly dropped Becky and zoomed toward Sally. She picked her up by her neck and floated above their heads.
"Mom!" Becky screamed. Miss Power's eyes glowed red.
"Word up!" Becky turned into Wordgirl and flew at Miss Power. Miss Power easily moved out of the way. Everyone in the room stared in awe at Becky.
"Becky…" Violet's eyes widened. TJ started to freak out.
"Wordgirl…is my sister?! Oh! All my fan fictions! Yuck!" He cried. Wordgirl looked at him.
"Uh…what?"
"…nothing!" He looked away and twirled his fingers. Wordgirl glared at him, so he explained more, "I mean, it's not like we did anything…" She continued to look angrily on, "The worst thing I wrote was a kiss on the cheek! I swear!" Scoops' surprised face turned to joy. He crouched down again and wrote furiously on his notepad.
"This will be the greatest story in the city! 'Wordgirl's secret identity revealed!' I can't wait!"
Wordgirl snarled and got ready to fly at Miss Power again.
"Surrender, or else I'll crush her neck." Miss Power threatened. Wordgirl glared at her for a second then slowly lowered to the ground. Miss Power chuckled.
"Good. Stay out of my way, and your mother will be safe." She abruptly flew out the door with Sally.
"Hmm…I should go interview Tobey! Miss Power mentioned him…I think. I'm pretty sure 'Bad haired baby' is Tobey." Scoops thought aloud. He crawled away from the window then took off at top speed toward Tobey's house.
"Tobey paced back and forth in his secret room, trying to figure out what to do!" The narrator stated.
"Stop narrating my life!" Tobey growled at his ceiling.
"But…It's my job."
"That doesn't make it any less annoying!"
"Tobey is annoyed at me for narrating his life!"
"Stop it!"
"Tobey is yelling at me to stop!"
"AAAAH!" Tobey banged his head on the door.
"Tobey is banging-"
"STOOOOP!"
"Ok. So why don't you just use your suit you've been working on?" He asked. Tobey sighed in impatience and placed his forehead on the door.
"It's nowhere near finished." He turned and looked into his room. Only one light was on, a bulb set into the wall pointing at his suit. His mom yelled at him at this moment.
"Tobey! Someone named Scoops is here!"
What could Scoops possibly want? He wondered as he walked to the front of the house.
"Tobey!" Scoops said excitedly, "I figured out Wordgirl's secret identity!"
"Oh…did you?" Tobey replied unenthusiastically. He didn't really believe that Scoops had figured it out.
"Yeah, and I wanted to know how YOU figured it out, I mean, you did tell Miss Power, after all."
"…What?!"
"Yeah! You DO know that Becky is Wordgirl, right?"
"…Yes, but-"
"Great! I wanted to know if you would let me interview you. It would really make my story that much spicier!"
"You're going to put this into the newspaper?!"
"Well, of course!" Scoops snorted a laugh, "Don't you realize much this would advance my career, Tob-"
Tobey suddenly interrupted him by punching him right in the face. Scoops dropped his notepad and pencil and then staggered backwards, holding his face. He pulled his hands away and noticed blood on them. He looked up at Tobey in silent astonishment as the boy genius blew up at him verbally.
"How dare you!" He screamed. He stepped toward Scoops, who fell down backing away. "How DARE you intend to ruin Becky's life by telling her secret to the world!" Scoops blinked and barely stuttered a reply.
"…r-ruin?"
"Yes, ruin!" Tobey yelled and clenched his fists. Scoops flinched. "Doesn't your primitive mind THINK about the consequences of your actions?! Don't you realize what will happen when the criminals know her secret identity?! They'll use her family and friends against her! She won't be able to fight back if one of them kidnaps one of her family members!"
"Isn't that what you did?" Scoops replied calmly. Tobey was taken aback. He stood silent for a moment before regaining his previous composure.
"You don't understand!" He said, but didn't offer an explanation.
"Understand what?"
"…Miss Power. She took my mom."
Miss Power grabbed Tobey by the collar, "I have a few questions to ask you." He stared in shock and fear, "First of all, what is Wordgirl's secret identity? And don't play dumb. I know you know." Tobey swallowed.
"What makes you think I'll tell you?" He answered shakily. She smiled, "Colonel Gigglecheeks!" An orange monkey/mouse-like animal walked out from around a corner, his ridiculously long and flexible arms wrapped around Tobey's mother.
"Mother!" He cried.
"If you don't answer my questions, I'll slowly torture your mother to death right in front of your eyes." Tobey watched as his mother struggled against Colonel Gigglecheeks.
"I…It's Becky…Becky Botsford." He confessed. Miss Power grinned.
"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" She said. Tobey looked down, "Now, just tell me one more thing…where does she live?"
"I'll never tell you that!" He growled in defiance. Miss Power dropped him. He didn't have a chance to hit the ground before she took his mother from Gigglecheeks. He jumped to his feet, "Mother!"
"Tell me! Or else!" Miss Power threatened. Tobey just stood there, conflicted, but when her eyes started to glow red, he blurted out the answer.
"78 School Street! She lives on 78 School Street!"
Miss Power's eyes faded back to normal, "That's better." She dropped Claire and started to fly toward the door.
"You'll never beat her! Wordgirl beat you once, and she'll do it again!" Tobey shouted after he ran to his mom. Miss Power laughed.
"Oh, I know. I can't beat her by myself. That's why I'm using the blue orb I found. It used to TAKE my energy, but I fixed it. Now it GIVES me energy! I'll never be powerless again!" She kicked down the door, which was unnecessary because it was unlockable from the inside, "You can go ahead and tell everyone you want, weakling. There's nothing any of you can do." She took off.
"Oh…I'm sorry I misjudged you." Scoops wiped more blood from his nose. Tobey sighed and relaxed his muscles. ("Ha, what muscles?" The narrator thought.)
"It's OK." They stood there in silence for a moment.
"I won't tell anyone Becky's secret." Scoops broke the silence, "You're right…It would ruin her life." Tobey shook his head.
"There might not be a life to ruin if we don't do something to help her!" Tobey turned around and walked into his house. When Scoops didn't follow right away, he stopped and looked over his shoulder, "Well?" Scoops picked his stuff up hastily and followed Tobey, closing the door behind him.
Lightball's Sis: So, yeah, I'm lazy…so what?
Anyway, for the third book, we're gonna need a lot of your own planets. I promise we'll write faster on the third one because it isn't something someone has done a million times already…like the return of Miss Power. (That's why I hate this)
Besides that, we have a set of rules that you must follow if you want to submit your own planets. (Submit it to Lightball34, not in your review)
*: Absolutely do not ignore this!
*(Please feel free to write as much detail as possible! The more the better!) First of all, we need a name of the planet. It may or may not have life. The more detailed your planet, the more likely it is to be chosen.
*Your planet has to have regions, like biomes or places our characters can explore. Maybe your planet doesn't even have a biome! Maybe it's a planet of liquid Hydrogen!
*The story is based on the finding of multiple pieces of something, so you must choose a location where the fragment is hidden and come up with something or a way for it to be protected. The more creative the better! (Ex: a "wizard" of some sort has it around his neck inside a vast labyrinth that is full of traps and trick doors)
A brief description and history of your planet would be appreciated, but is not necessary. (If it ties into the fragment location, all the better!)
What is currently happening on the planet? Again, not necessary. (Ex: A war is going on that involves the entire world)
*Are your characters/creatures peaceful or hostile to newcomers? Maybe they don't like Lexoconians or humans or unsaid creatures that may be involved in the story…*winkwink* (This may be void for you if you do not have any living creatures)
*You CANNOT, in any way or form, base your planets on anything involving Wordgirl's universe! Ex. Wordgirl's or Miss Power's home planet.
*You MAY base your planet off of another universe in another show, book, or video games, but animes/mangas will not be accepted. Ex. Wolverine and the X-men. You can have mutants, but you cannot have the actual characters in it. Basically, a planet filled with your own OC's. Please include the show, book's, or video game's name so we can give credit. (This might be the ultimate crossover! Lol! Also, books and video games are the least likely to be chosen) You're most likely to be chosen if you make up your own everything!
Please give a description of the characters (if any), how they look, and anything else you'd like to include. This also includes animals. Your character(s) cannot become permanent traveler(s) of the main characters, unless it is going from your own world to another of your worlds. Please keep in mind that your character(s) may not be properly portrayed even with in-depth descriptions, as there is no amount of description you can provide for us to keep them exactly the way you want (without us getting bored of reading about them, anyway). Characters that are overpowered will be edited out.
If you want, you may include some trials you would like to see the characters go through.
You may post as many worlds as you want!
*No planets based on movies…
*Please keep in mind that your character(s)/planets are liable to changes! We will do our very best to keep it the way you described, however. (They will only be changed if it conflicts, somehow, with our story)
Other: Include anything else you would like us to know about your planet(s)!
PS. If Lightball thinks it's interesting but it needs more detail, he will PM you about it. He will tell you whether your planet made it in or not.
